  • When I go that way, after I cross the Tappan Zee Bridge I almost always stay on I-87 W to I-287 South to the NJ Turnpike. Basically a big bypass to keep me away from the heaviest traffic that is all around NYC (even in NJ).

    Of course, it depends on time of day and day of the week but there is almost always lots of congestion the closer you are to NYC.

  • Towing? Be smart and take easy, wide roads...TZ to GSP South to RT95 South around exit 120 which puts u on RT95 at Exit 11. Should be easy drive of about 1 hour from TZ.
  • Don't even think of it. Only a few miles more to the Garden State Parkway.
  • I have only been that route once and that was in a pickup. Personally I don't think it is very motorhome friendly. But that is only my opinion.
